Every day millions of mail pieces and parcels are sent through the postal system. A return address is put on the pieces to ensure that any incorrectly addressed or undeliverable parcels and envelopes make it back to the sender. The tedious task of hand writing your personal or business address on each of them can be spared by using return address stamps. Personalized labels can be use as well but they tend to be costly. A stamp would be the better choice as they make multiple impressions for just pennies. Personalize the address stamp with your name, address, phone number and any logo you may want, custom made or pre-designed by the manufacturer.
Return address stamps are more economical in that you can use the stamp over and over again, limited only by the life of the ink in them or on a stamp pad. Address labels have to be repeatedly special ordered and the pre-glued kind is very expensive. Chances are if you are putting a business name, address and company logo on them, there won’t be room on a small label. Address stamps can be bought or custom made in nearly any size.
Self inking return address stamps eliminate the use of a stamp pad which can be messy. They come in two styles, pre-inked and refillable. A good quality self inking stamp will get you thousands of impressions but eventually run out and need replacing. They are more practical for home use then business as the volume of usage will be lower and the stamp will most likely last you years. Businesses or home businesses would be better off with a refillable return address stamp. A personal, 3-line stamp is great for home use and some are small enough to be carried in a briefcase or purse. You can get one online for less than $5.00 at Vista Print.
